Rodentia is an order of mammals also known as rodents, characterised by two continuously growing incisors in the upper and lower jaws which must be kept short by gnawing. (Wikipedia)
We are rodents, this means our teeth are always growing to stop them over growing we need to gnaw alot.
Good things to gnaw grass and hay, this helps keep teeth worn down as well as being yummy.
Bad things to gnaw headphones- Daddy was not happy the first time I gnawed through his headphone wires he was very unhappy the second time!!
Warning to humans if you leave something where a guinea pig could gnaw it a guinea pig WILL gnaw it!! BEWARE
Make sure the humans learn coz we wont.
What do you guys gnaw?
Well.. to be honest, not that much. My predecessor Jan the boar gnawded on pretty much everything (electricity wires, furniture etc.) so he trained my slave in making my house VERY safe (iow BORING!!) so i only chew the occsional cardboard box and wooden house. And since that is allowed, its not as much fun :-(
ReplyDeleteAgent I, it is good your slave is well trained. It not nice when humans are grumpy at you just for being yourself :(
